Boram Park (박보람) gave a talk on the odd coloring of graphs at the Discrete Math Seminar

On April 25, 2022, Boram Park (박보람) from Ajou University gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar on the odd coloring of graphs, which is a proper coloring of a graph such that every non-isolated vertex has a color having an odd number of neighbors having that color. The title of her talk was “Odd coloring of sparse graphs“.
